MCAN NETWORK
The Massachusetts Communities Action Network has a 30+ year history as a faith and values rooted organization. Our seven affiliates build local power throughout the Commonwealth by reimagining public safety, education, immigration, housing, voter engagement, and beloved economy. Each day, we work for a Massachusetts rooted in equity and justice believing that our state can help lead our nation towards truly being a “more perfect union.” We partner at the national level with Faith In Action. Learn more about our affiliates below. If you don’t live near one of these, get in touch with our central office. We’d love to connect for a deeper conversation with you.
